I used to shoot Highpower and wanted to get back to shooting rifles after a long stretch at a club that doesn't allow centerfire rifle, so I finally convinced my husband to let me sign us up at a club that has Highpower/CMP matches. I shot the last match shooting one of the clubs Garands, and I really would rather go with an AR - the Garand just seemed unweildly to me, and the guys shooting the ARs seemed to have an edge. My husband of course would prefer I go with the Garand because of the cost through the CMP, but I think I could convince him to let me go for the AR if I built one from a parts kit, which would save on the cost considerably (I have built other rifles/pistols in the past, and have a top notch armorer who is willing to help me along). This would primarily be for the CMP matches, but also possibly some 3-gun events.
I know I want:
20" SS Heavy barrel
Free Float Tube
National Match Front/Rear sights (could get this as a later addition to save on cost as needed)
Two Stage competition trigger (could get this as a later addition to save on cost as needed)
Which online dealer is going to be the best for me to go with to get a decent price/good product? I am not as concerned with name as I am the quality of the parts, and getting a good value.
